Nice.

Looks like they use cups at the ends to go over the nuts as opposed to A. Dalton's device that slips over the exposed threads of the arm mounting bolt. I looked at it last night and mine only has about 1/2" of stud exposed. Should be enough to work though. I got it started and hopefully finish the tool this week.

Now that you mentioned steak, I am ready for lunch!!!

Wallace,
with your new alignment tool in hand you might be able to make one good car out of those two.  ;D

You might have to separate the cars a little to get access.

I think those cars may have friction welded themselves together.

Just a couple of new quarter panels should be enough to fix the coupe up! Bondo works like magic. :D
